A CAMPAIGN to find the UK’s Best Window with a View has shortlisted four stunning images from across Scotland.

Photos of Edinburgh Castle, Orkney Stone and Beach House Ruins, and Lord of the Isles in Craobh Marina, Argyllshire were deemed by judges to be the best entries in Scotland, beating off stiff competition to be shortlisted in the national competition, launched by MyGlazing.com.

The competition invited budding photographers to take a picture from the window of an attraction or building that has a particularly impressive view.

Out of over 150 entries, ranging from coastlines and landscapes to city skylines and industrial scenes, a judging panel of experts from the tourism, architecture, photography, construction and interior industries selected the four best images for each area of the UK.

Now the public are being invited to vote for their favourite photo in each area. Voting is open until Friday July 29.

The regional winner for Scotland will then be put forward to win the title of UK’s Best Window with a View, with voting for the national title running throughout August.

James Lee, head of group marketing and communications at MyGlazing.com, added: “We have been overwhelmed by the quality of entries we’ve had for the first ever Window with a View competition.

"It really was difficult to narrow the photographs down to just four for each area of the UK.

“As well as showcasing the beauty of the UK’s outstanding landscape we also hope that the competition has gone some way to raising awareness of the importance and benefits of modern, clear and energy efficient glazing. We wish all the shortlisted entries the best of luck in the first round of public voting.”
